Hi Elaine,

Found this on FreeBMD:

Marriages:

John Holmes    MarQ 1846  Amesbury  8   369

bride shown as Emma Shepherd.

A copy of the certificate should give the name of his father, plus occupation, which should help you to find him on 1841 census.

The 1851 census shows that John's wife Emma was born in Figheldine (shown on my copy of the census as Fielton).   Please confirm her place of birth as their marriage probably took place there.   I could look up the marriage or alternatively look up John's baptism - possibly Netheravon as I don't think there's a church at Haxon.

Cheers Dave
